Microsoft Unveils Windows 10 October 2018 Update
Microsoft at its IFA Berlin briefing named its next major update to Windows 10, dubbed October 2018 Update, bound for the date of its namesake. Technically Windows 10 version 1809, the operating system will introduce a few user-interface improvements such as Dark Mode, and a cloud-linked clipboard that lets you copy things between your various Windows devices linked to the same Microsoft account. Microsoft will also introduce improvements to Game Mode and add functionality to Game Bar, including some hardware monitoring features. This would also present Redmond with the opportunity to introduce a new version of Edge. Microsoft could sign off the release by late-September, and start distribution sometime in October.

I wonder what they will break this time

Anyways, I really hope they will fix the sound issues with Creative X-Fi Ti drivers which are no longer working properly after the last update.
There is no correlation, beyond maybe Microsoft signing the RTM on the preceding month, signifying the version.
I just built my win10 gaming rig and that is all it is going to do; gaming.
I'm keeping my old rig for everything else.
They'll also make things more "User Friendly" too (NSA?) and they'll even be sure to throw in a vid of the best way to grab your ankles whenever you use the new clipboard.

Although I will admit to not having a single issue with the last several updates, my time is probably coming, and then I'm gonna be really pissed off when everything that has been working flawlessly for quite some time now suddenly stops working simply due to a single update....
FYI, I run a very lean & clean system, with all unnecessary (as determined by ME) background sh**t turned off, and only minimal additional software, drivers etc :)
